Coach Brooks joins KSP to promote Trooper Island



2009-03-11 - Frankfort, KY - Photo By Sgt. David Jude.
University of Kentucky Head Football Coach Rich Brooks joined Tpr. Ron Turley, public affairs officer for Kentucky State Police Post 12 in Frankfort, to display a special license plate designed to help raise funds for Trooper Island, a free summer camp for disadvantaged boys and girls age 10-12 operated by the Kentucky State Police on Dale Hollow Lake in Clinton Co. In order for the Transportation Cabinet to make this an official tag for vehicle registration in Kentucky, 900 applications must be received by September 2009. The cost is $28.00 at the time of application with an additional $16.00 due at the time of pick up. Applications for the license can be obtained from any state police post or downloaded from the KSP web site at www.kentuckystatepolice.org. Trooper Island is financed entirely by donations, no public funds are used. Each year, the camp hosts approximately 700 children, providing good food, fresh air, recreation, guidance and structured, esteem-building activities designed to build good citizenship and positive relationships with law enforcement officers. For more information, visit the KSP web site or call the KSP Media Relations Branch at (502) 695-6344. Clickng Read More accesses the Today, Wed. March 11, 2009 feature
